Jaspreet and everyone.
HOW WOULD YOU REMOTELY UPGRADE YOUR IOS IF YOU HAD TO GO
INTO BOOT ROM MODE? WOULD CISCO WORKS BE ABLE TO UPGRADE
YOUR IOS? Here is the answer.
I just upgraded my 2501 without going into boot rom mode
2101. I kept my reg at 2102. My setup was my PC attached
to a CAT5000 switch and the routers eth0 to the same
vlan on the switch. Both on the same subnet obviously. I
used the Cisco TFTP server.
Then all I did was issue the copy TFTP: Flash: command
and I upgraded my IOS from 11.2 to 12.16. The only thing
that I did was change the name of the file to have an
8.3 extension. Example "1216FW56.bin" Sometimes
Windows95/98/ME does not like Unix style file names.
After upgrading reboot the router and do a write mem.
Just like several other guys said. Changing the boot reg
works but it is harder. Not changing it keeps your
routing functional and you can do a remote flash upgrade.
